I also like it when I know both the person who created said scroll (On the left) and the person who received said scroll.
This scroll is now in the Musee Guimet in Paris but is the kind of scroll which would have been found in the Mogao Caves
someone printed out the the very long list... of Bush Administration lies, waste and scandals that have led to the deaths of civilians and soldiers.
Uploaded in memory of Gordon Gentle, a Scottish soldier killed in Iraq on 28 June 2004. He was 19 years old and he`d joined the Army just six months earlier at his local Job Centre in a deprived area of Glasgow city.
Today, Sunday 23rd December 2007, would have been Gordon's 23rd birthday.

This article from the Belfast Telegraph puts it well:
"The neo-con gang which manoeuvred the US into the war, with Blair dragging Britain along in their wake, are almost all gone. Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, Alberto Gonzalez, all gone, some in disgrace, none to their graves.
Dying is for people like Rose Gentle's son, for fresh-faced young men drawn disproportionately from the poor, flung ill-trained and ill-equipped into battle to take bullets for Bush and Blair. "

Per la prima volta in 34 anni i Negativland propongono sul palco versioni audiovisive radicalmente nuove di molti pezzi preferiti dei loro fan, mai sentite prima dal vivo.
Per la prima volta in otto anni, i Negativland suonano in Europa.
Sempre per la prima volta, arrivano a Trieste.
Passati alla storia per una curiosa operazione di arte concettuale che ha visto coinvolti le multinazionali del disco, etichette indipendenti e avvocati, gli americani Negativland hanno scoccato il loro dardo di fuoco contro il colosso del copyright in una maniera che non ha precedenti prima di loro. Tutto ha inizio col rinvenimento di un nastro audio, proveniente da una trasmissione televisiva, in cui il conduttore Casey Kasem si lascia andare a commenti molto coloriti sugli U2. Parte di quel contenuto lo utilizzano per un ep nel quale decostruiscono il brano “I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For” di Bono & Co. accostando la versione originale del pezzo a suoni di varia natura. La copertina riporta in grande la scritta U2 e in piccolo il nome del gruppo. Parte l'azione legale dagli uffici della Island, imbufalita dall'affronto. La causa, neanche dirlo, viene vinta. La SST, etichetta responsabile della pubblicazione dell'ep, che non perde occasione di ribadire la sua lotta contro le multinazionali del disco (ricordate la t-shirt della label con la scritta Corporate Rock Still Suck?) si gioca la carta folle del recupero costi legali e della stampa del lavoro dalle casse dei Negativland. Questi, soddisfatti di aver gabbato entrambi con una mossa sola, pubblicano da lì a breve un libro che riepiloga l'intera vicenda con tanto di documenti in forma anastatica (“The Letter U and the numeral 2”, Seeland 1992, libro + cd). Da allora, con fasi alterne, il collettivo non ha mai interrotto la sua avventura tra pratiche taglia&cuci e mistificazione, gusto dell'assurdo e critica all'industria culturale che agisce per lo più in base a criteri economici.
Se, come sosteneva Burroughs, nella procedura del cut up il vero volto delle cose filtra attraverso le crepe, allora i Negativland sono riusciti nel loro intento, ovverosia mostrarci i tanti meccanismi invisibili che regolano non solo l'arte ma tutte le nostre esistenze. More than music.

Per celebrare degnamente la presenza di questo nome storico nel campo dell’avanguardia e della provocazione artistica, abbiamo chiesto agli amici di Hybrida di aprire e chiudere la serata con le loro proiezioni e il loro dj set. L’associazione di Tarcento, che da anni diffonde in Friuli la conoscenza dell’underground musicale internazionale, è il completamento ideale per questa data.
Ingresso riservato ai soci.

ENGLISH VERSION
For the first time in 34 years Negativeland will offer radically new audiovisive versions of their pieces, most loved by fans, that have never been played live before.
For the first time in 8 years, Negativeland will play a gig in Europe.
For the first time EVER we bring them to Trieste.
Went down in history for their peculiar work of conceptual art which involved music industry corporations, independent labels and lawyers, Negativland from San Francisco have popped their fiery darts against the copyright giant in a way nobody ever dared before. It all started with a television broadcast audio tape, on which the host, Casey Kasem, indulges in some very colorful comments regarding U2. Part of that content was used for Negativeland’s EP with the deconstruction of “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by Bono & Co., mixing it with sounds of various nature. The album cover has “U2” written in huge pink letters, while the name of the band itself is only noticeable after a closer look.
U2’s label Island Records quickly sued Negativland, who had to withdraw and destroy the record. SST, who published the EP, famous for never missing a chance of openly restating their fight against the multinational record companies (remember the t-shirt “Corporate Rock Still Suck”?) then tries to recover costs of the legal battle from Negativland. The latter, pleased to have duped both with a single move, publish their book/CD, Fair Use: The Story of the Letter U and the Numeral 2 , Seeland 1992 which summarizes the whole thing, accompanied by plenty of documents as a proof.
Ever since, with ups and downs, the collective never ceases its adventure, using cut&sew and mystification, a taste for the absurd and criticism towards the cultural industry, that acts mainly on the basis of economic criteria.
If, as argued by Burroughs, during the cut up the true face of things comes out through the cracks, then Negativland have succeeded in their mission of showing us the many invisible mechanisms, that rule not only the art, but our existence itself. More than music.

To celebrate the presence of these legends of avant-garde and artistic provocation we asked our friends from Hybrida to open and close the evening with their visual projections and DJ set. The association from Tarcento, who has been spreading the international underground music culture in the region for years now, will be the perfect match for the memorable evening.

Great for everyday wear, these pretty little earrings are composed of round swarovski crystal beads, and antique silver pewter hearts. All other findings are sterling silver.
I like how these socks came out. There was some, um, interesting pooling with the yarn, but it doesn't really detract.
The whole time I was knitting these, I kept thinking they were coming out too big. I even had a dream about it. But every time I tried them on, they fit my wide foot perfectly! And in the end? They look, fit, and feel great!
Started somewhere around the beginning of April.
Frogged and restarted once.
Completed May 18, 2007.

Rabbi Martha Bergadine with Torahs rescued from New Orleans synagogues and taken to Beth Shalom Synagogue in Baton Rouge. I was at Sabbath services on Saturday, Sept. 11, at Beth Shalom and wondered where the rabbis were -- Rabbi Bergadine's husband, Rabbi Stanton Zamek, is the leader of the synagogue. She's executive director of the Baton Rouge Jewish Federation. Officials with the New Orleans and Baton Rouge federations, escorted by deputy sheriffs from Baton Rouge, rounded up the Torahs from Reform and Conservative synagogues that morning and drove them back to Baton Rouge. They showed up right after services were over. The Torahs followed several forays by federation members and off-duty deputy sheriffs in search of Jewish residents who had been reported missing. In more than half the cases, the reported people weren't there, but other, non-Jewish flood victims were rescued and taken to safety. Many of the Torah scrolls were taken to Houston, and later returned to their congregations. Two weeks after the Torah rescue, rainfall from Hurricane Rita collapsed the roof at Beth Shalom, flooding its sanctuary and most of its building. Its Torahs were not damaged.

I had trouble with tension with this one - the sample was in the hoop so I could photograph it! I did not stitch it in the hoop. I found that I also need to be consistent in the direction I pull the thread when making the knot.
Row 1: Pearl No 5 - across 6 threads and back 2 diagonally.
Row 2: Pearl No 5 - across 4 and back 2 diagonally
Row 3: Pearl No 5 - 3 and 2 diag.
Row 4: Pearl No 3 - 4 and 2 diag
Row 5: Ribbon floss - 6 and 2 diag
Row 6: Ribbon floss - 3 and 2 diag
Row 7: Some fat cotton - 5 and 2 diag
Row 8: Pearl No 5 - zig zag scroll - I tried this in some rayon and ribbon floss and it was not successful. To me it is barely successful in Pearl thread. If I want a zig zag line in the future, I will not use this stitch.
Row 9: Pearl No 5 - stacked rows
Row 10: Pearl No 3 - two rows back to back - across 5 and back 2 diag
Row 11: Some rayon thread - a row of two scroll units stacked
Row 12: Pearl No 3 - across 5 and a 2 thread vertical pick up .
Row 13: Pearl No 3 - alternating the vertical pick-up above and below the line.
Row 14: Pearl No 3 - an experiment inspired by this piece by Elizabeth of Quieter Moments. There are some French knots.
This is an artwork I did 18 years ago. It's watercolour on an entire checkout paper roll. I was fascinated (and still am) by drawing as pure creative output and spent a month or so painting this pretty much random abstraction. I had it set up so that viewers could wind it by hand from one reel to another, this reel is all that's left. I've been meaning to scan it all in and make a flash based carousel but working out just how to scan it easily is proving difficult.
Day 15 I usually end up falling asleep doing this...phone in hand, scrolling through my Twitter & Instagram feeds until my eyes get tired.
Along the River during Qingming Festival
Twenty-eight boats and ships are depicted on the river, which meanders through the entire length of the scroll.
Here is an excerpt from my Egyptian Book of the Dead project. Egyptian papyrus painting was done with ground pigments and water, in a similar fashion to Chinese brush painting. Using animal hair brushes, the watercolor was applied to papyrus sheets with single-stroke fashion. I used my knowledge of Chinese brush painting and poetry to generate a new version of the BOTD. This is also just a prototype to an even larger piece I will do.
Done in Chinese ground inks and tube watercolors on rice paper.
This is the first panel of the long scroll, featuring Manu (the man) and his wife. Manu has just died and begins his long journey to the Field of Reeds by showing adoration to Ra, depicted here as the sun. A tower of offerings, many of which reminded me of traditional Chinese offerings, rises up to Ra.
April 22, 2010, Scroll of Honor Dedication. Nearly 500 Clemson University graduates who died in service to their country were remembered Thursday during dedication ceremonies for the Scroll of Honor. Clemson President James Barker and selected dignitaries unveiled two purple-shrouded tiger statues as a crowd of up 1,000 applauded and stood at attention. To date 470 names are etched into the stone scroll. There are 27 names from WWI; one from the Nicaraguan campaign; 378 from WWII; 17 more from Korea; one, that of a pilot, from the Cuban missile crisis; 25 from the Vietnam War: and 19 from the Cold War era and the wars on terror. Two additional names were added just as the ceremony took place. The Clemson Corps, organized in 1999, is responsible for maintaining the Scroll of Honor records. The corps is associated with the Clemson Alumni Association and helps raise funds for the preservation of Clemson's military history and the creation of scholarships for ROTC cadets..
